Makayla gave me Beater... Am I dreaming? I must not be since Mattheo just slapped me in the face to wake me up. That kind of hurt.

Note from Mattheo: Boo hoo.

Makayla is late for breakfast this morning, which leaves me with Annie's constant talking. Yay...

"Did you know that turtles breathe through their butts?" she asks.

I sigh, my head laid on the table as I watch the door for any sign of Makayla. There is none.

Nora walks in though, with my brother Christopher. They both walk over and sit beside Annie. Oh no...

They all start talking about random things, their voices overlapping each other. Dear Lord. If I have a suicide note, it'd read, "Annie, Christopher, and Nora's fault." Makayla, please save me.

Mattheo is sitting next to me, trying not to laugh. Of course he finds this funny.

Theo walks in, talking to someone. I perk up when I realize who it is. Thank God.

Makayla sits next to me, shushing the children. THey immediately shut up. I sigh in relief.

"So," she starts, "who's ready for Quidditch?"

"You don't even have to ask," Mattheo says, laughing. She smiles her beautiful smile.

For Quidditch, this is the layout this year. Theo, Mattheo, and I are all the SLytherin Beaters. Blaise, Grayson, and Preston are the Chasers. Makayla is the Seeker (obviously).

I'd say that we're a powerful team. Though, I'm a rather nervous guy when it comes to Beating. Fear is always there; the fear that I'll get hit and die.

"When is the first game?" Theo asks.

"Next Saturday," she says.

"Against?" asks Mattheo.

"Hufflepuff."

"Yeah, you all are gonna win..." Annie murmurs. We laugh.

"Obviously," Mattheo adds.

"Jokes aside, Quidditch practice is everyday until the season's over," Makayla explains.

"What?" Theo asks.

"There is no way!" Mattheo exclaims.

"You can't possibly expect me to—"

I don't get a chance to finish before she shouts, "Quiet!"

We all shut up.

Nora and Christopher laugh behind their hands. I swear I'm not surviving this year.

Author's Note: Yes, I did name this chapter after a Hamilton song. I do not care :P! It may be unserious, but it's hilarious to me.
